does squatiing help your vertical????

if so does it help dramatically??

and also what are some calf exercise's that u cud do to help imrpoove your vertical also

Answer 1

the basketball players do squats with weights on each arm.

they jump and touch the backboard over and over again non stop.

last thing is just jump highest u can.

wall sits help too (wall sit is just like ur sitting on a imaginary chair with your back on the wall. and also you need a good core. cuz u need it.

do all these exercises until you feel the burn in your legs

Answer 2

Just excersicing their leg muscles and jump ( play basketball) a lot

get some muscle on your legs

Answer 3

Yes, squats absolutely help if you do them correctly. I play d3 hoops and my program is centered around squats. The goal is to do all your lifts explosively so that the strength transfers into jumping. Once you get a good strength base, other training will be much more effective.
